Just make sure your gas is staying in the tank this year...

[Kremithefrog]

15 hours and 1000 miles but I plan on making this one. Hopefully joined by atleast one or two other SECEGers.

[MxRacer]

oh it will. :o

[Barge]

Well you won't be moving very quickly if it all stays in the tank and none ends up in the engine :)

As long as I can get time off! And thats assuming I have a job by then:blackeye:

[Kremithefrog]

If I can't get the time off, I'm quitting. That's assuming I have money (hopefully moving out soon), but I should.

[Rara]

I'll beat you all like rented mules at the track.

Even if I have to cheat . . . and boy can I cheat :D

I want to make sure that track footage makes it on the SZ DVD... Heehehehe, a part of CEG history... A little payback after years of tormenting.:laugh:

As long as it is followed by the footage Todd has of you, on the highway, with the polizei in your rearview! :D

LMAO!!! I didn't know that Todd has footage of that. Get that ish on the DVD too, that would make my year.

[todras]

I'll have the black one and won't drive though the water this time.

[RawBurt]

LOL
Great, we'll have Mx pouring fuel all over the track and you pouring oil all over the track.

[todras]

But mine won't die from electrical issues.

[RawBurt]

LMMFAO
Oh its on toodles!!!

[todras]

Just make sure you bring money for the events. I know paying others to mod your car can get pricey.

Are you saying that you want to race for money?

If you read that then you didn't grasp the burn.

[RawBurt]

No, I got the burn... I just didn't put two and two together. Seriously, bring your SVT to the track and we'll go for round 2. No more BS excuses... example, "I drove thru the water" or "My exhaust fell off."

LOL'erskates

The nice thing about this thing going down in GR is that on one day Todd can bring the SVT (which is hot) and the next day he could bring the SE :drool: :drool: :drool:

[Pole120]

We should have an official comp. at the strip.....

2.5's VS 2.5's

3L's VS 3L's

and

FI VS FI


Fastest of each gets a prize and bragging rights for a year perhaps?

[Kremithefrog]

That's a dern good idea.

[RawBurt]

I'm pretty sure we tried setting something similiar to that up last year and it didn't work. But I am definetely willing to do try it again.

Then Jess and I can corrupt her. :cool:

I will join you.

[icysvt]

I believe I will be right there with you guys too SECEG OWNS!!!!!!!!!!

[pokat302]

I guess since the rest of the SE CEG is jumping on the SZ bandwagon, we're going to too..... Count me and Brad too... at least as we are right now. (We voted maybe on the poll)

[Kremithefrog]

Heck yes. Me and Suriel/Dina are definitely going. I think John is too. + Trey/Sarah + Brad/Christy + maybe Chris (kingpin) + ....?

Gonna be a fun (though long) drive up there from the south.

[Ray]

Guess who else is tentative?

[warmonger]

You guys know I'd like to go but I don't know yet depends on when I have to do my pcs move.
:( As usual you pick the time of year that stuff happens.

Also as usual it is right outside of Michigan so its so far away it kills people in the south and west.
:(

But it sure looks like fun. Maybe this time you guys can drink a cold one for me... :)

I just checked and Grand Rapids is in Michigan :)

[Ray]

Yeah... 14 HUNDRED miles from me. :nonono:

I don't care if 99.9 percent of CEGers are in that area... NEXT SZ (08) needs to have THEM driving a little ways!

[Steeda...]

Then set it up. But just so you know It will be staying in Michigan for 08 or Elkhart Lake, WI :)

[todras]

I recall '03 when someone tried having it in Iowa. No one wanted to go. LOL! G. Lakes region is the shiznit.

[Ray]

Where SZ is doesn't make mean that is a great place.

If this were an illegal alien sympathy group, our annual meeting would be in California, or Texas. and then I could say "yeah.. Texas is the shiznit". It must be, because our meeting is there.

The majority of members happen to live there, because that is what our member base is made of.. automobiles.

I will likely be there, but I will be cussing and pissing and moaning the whole way there! :D :D :D :D :D






PS. I actually DO like the GL region. I spent a FEW years there.. So, don't take anything I said to heart.

[Kremithefrog]

So that Thursday, are we doing stuff or just showing up? Like for us doing a long drive, do we need to already be there for the goings-on or is everyone just coming together thursday? And if so, about what time?

[frenchblueC2]

Thursday is usually a blow off day/night. Don't sweat it if you don't make it by 6 pm or anything like that.

[todras]

I don't call a track day at Gingerman blow off but ok.

[frenchblueC2]

:P sorry. I misread the schedule :o

Ok I thought I had saw that in the posts somewhere. So my plan is to be there by Wednesday night. Will arrangements be able to be made with the hotel for us wanting to stay wednesday night? Also if there is something (autox?) going on Sunday, then I'll stay that night too.

[KingpinSVT]

Yay! Looks like a 2 day affair fo' sho'.

Not sure how I would break this one up. Could stop in Atlanta, could stop in the Natti, hmmm. . . . .or just suffer with the SE CEG guys. I dunno.

I just hope I dont have something that would prevent me from going. Im still bitter about missing 06.

You might want to get a hotel in South Haven instead of coming all the way up to GR. You're on your own if you're coming in Wed. night.

As for events everything is still on the first post of this thread as stated.

And to further justify it's location. ;)

OK, is race fuel available out there....and if not is anyone from this area taking a truck or a trailer? My engine build is on schedule...tentatively I will take friday off...leave thursday after work and stay till sunday.....if I have a job by then....I am unsure about drag racing...but we shall see how many miles are on the car by then....the tranny worries me at this level and I cannot afford the 76 speed swap just yet.

Dunno if I'll own an SVT by then (life's taken a different direction than I ever anticipated!) so you'll probably see me with my Maxima. Graduation ceremony got in the way of SZ06, but I intend to make SZ07. And those of you who can't stand me will finally have a chance to do something about it. :)
